This Earth Day, we recalled the This Brave Nation episode with Majora Carter and Pete Seeger, in which Majora talked about how life in the South Bronx contributed to her relentless pursuit of a green economy. Majora spent part of the day on Barack Obama's website, Organizing for America, chatting with people about sustainability and a national green-collar job agenda. These are topics to which Majora has dedicated herself as Executive Director of Sustainable South Bronx and President of The Majora Carter Group.

Watch Majora in conversation with legendary folk activist Pete Seeger, as they discuss how growing up in the Bronx helped shape Majora's life.
